Study: Sahel Sees Recovering Rainfall

Eritrea is expecting a very good harvest due to above average rainfall in most parts of the country.

The announcement was made by the country’s Minister of Agriculture, Arefaine Berhe, while marking World Food Day on 16 October 2016 in the Hamelmalo College of Agriculture under the theme “Climate is Changing Food and Agriculture must too.”

According to a study, published in Nature Climate Change, there has been a recovery of the rainfall in the Sahel region prompted by rising temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea, climate science website CarbonBrief said.
